All depends on your zip code
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would recommend using the website: www.antennaweb.org to see what it shows for your zip code as a starting point. If you click on the "Click Here to Start" button on their home page you will be prompted to enter your zip code. This is your starting point because with TV antennas there are many variables involved in how many channels you can actually receive clearly with any antenna. If there are obstacles between you and the broadcast towers these will affect the signal. The height of the antenna you install will also affect your reception as well as the direction you point it. I purchased this antenna after looking at various options to see how it would work in my area with the idea that I would return it if the results were unacceptable. In my case, I received enough channels that I kept the antenna and am happy with it. Additional comments: I attached this antenna to a 10ft piece of conduit and placed the conduit inside of an existing pole in the ground that Direct TV previously used to mount their satellite dish. This way I could manually rotate the antenna to find the best signal in my area. To assist in aiming the antenna I downloaded the free app: Antenna Point on my smartphone. This app makes it easy to visually see where the broadcast towers are relative to the location of your antenna.
